Liver abscess secondary to fishbone ingestion: case report and review of the literature.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
We report a rare silent migration of a fishbone into the liver and review the relevant literature. A 56-year-old man presented with a 2-day history of dull epigastric pain and raised inflammatory markers. Computerized tomography scan revealed a 4-cm abscess in the left lobe of the liver, with a linear radio-dense foreign body within the collection. At laparoscopy the hepatogastric fistula was disconnected. The fishbone was retrieved from the liver. Gastrostomy was closed with an omental patch. The patient had an uneventful recovery. Fifty-two cases of liver abscess secondary to enterohepatic fishbone migration were reported with over two-thirds presenting with a left-lobe abscess. There was marked variability in the management of liver abscess in the setting of fishbone migration-summarized in table. We believe that laparoscopic drainage of the abscess and extraction of the foreign body offer control of the source of sepsis and diminishes recurrence, whilst having a low-risk profile.
